- Your thoughts on your 3rd win this season?
▲ I heard a lot that I was getting weak in PvP. In the past I was most confident against Protoss, but because I was hearing that often recently, I started getting more and more worried. That is why I was very worried today, but I eventually won and so did our team, so I am relieved.
- Your expansion was late compared to your opponent.
▲ Even if my expansion was late, since this happened many times in practice, I wasn't shaken the slightest. I knew that I would win, so long as I played the way I had practiced.
- Your first attack was defended off by your opponent.
▲ Even if it was defended, my opponent suffered huge losses. If I had micro'd a bit better, I would have been able to do more damage, so I am slightly disappointed with that. But nevertheless, I managed to deal as much damage as I thought I could.
- This is now your 2nd Protoss win this season. Do you think you are off to a good start?
▲ It's not as good as what I expected. I think it is because I still feel heavily burdened about Proleague. I play well during practice, but somehow, I always end up feeling very pressured on stage. I need to work on feeling less pressured.
- In the previous interview, EffOrt told you to practice more.
▲ Since EffOrt was observing me so closely, I knew I had to admit what was true. That is why I am practicing more now. But since EffOrt lost to a foreigner not too long ago, he has to practice more too.
- You will be facing MBCGame next. Any players you want to face?
▲ There isn't anyone I specially want to face, but I want to play against a Protoss. To remove the image of me being "bad in PvP", I just want to play against Protoss players for now.
- Any final words?
▲ I am thankful towards my team's Protoss players who helped me with practice, as well as Hwaseung's PerfectMan, STX's Boradori. Also, there is the OSL tomorrow, but Hite's Horang2 still helped me with practice, so I want to thank him for that. However, Horang2 is in the same group as EffOrt, so I have to go back and help EffOrt with practice.

- Your thoughts on your third win this season?
▲ Our team was on a losing streak, so I am glad I won today and helped to end it.
- You starting off with a build order advantage.
▲ I first saw my opponent going for an expansion with my overlord. When the game started, I was not feeling nervous, but after seeing that my opponent went for an expansion, I started getting nervous because I thought that I had won.
- You are being sent out more this season.
▲ The coaching staff are well towards me, so I feel good, and because I want to show them my appreciation, I have to work hard.
- You have now won two games. Are you feeling satisfied with your performance so far?
▲ In my previous game against SKT1's BeSt, I was confident due to practice, but I eventually lost without being able to do anything.But I told myself that I just have to do better, so I forgot about that game.
I still cannot reproduce the standard of games I play during practice. I think I tend to get nervous a lot, but it was not so bad today.
- You are being sent out more often. What are the reactions of the people around you?
▲ My friends are all practicing for their own games, but they still make time to check up on me once in a while by sending me text messages for support. I get a lot of strength from reading them. My family is worrying a lot about me.
- There are many good Zerg players in the team such as sAviOr and EffOrt. What are you learning from them?
▲ There are so many good players in my team, so I am learning a lot from them. I am learning many stuff, even the slightest details that goes into winning the game. Other than the two mentioned players, there are also Orion and MIsO. There are doing so well that we almost cannot feel the absence of Kwanro.
- Your personal target for this season?
▲ It will be to do the best for the matches I am sent out to play, instead of trying to aim for a certain number of wins.
- Any final words?
▲ I am thankful to my teammates who helped me with practice, as well as STX's Boradori.

- This is your third win this season.
▲ I am happy to have ended my losing streak. I want to now go on a winning streak.
- You went for 9 overpool. Did you expect your opponent to play aggressively early?
▲ Somehow I felt I should play safe today, and that choice turned out well. I just felt that (the bunker rush) would happen.
- How did you feel when you were bunker rushed?
▲ I think that he played according to my style, and I am thankful that he played according to how I thought he would (laugh).
- You built hatcheries in DarkElf's natural.
▲ Our team lost the third set so our mood was very down. In order to lift up our spirits, as well as to payback for the bunker rush, I did the hatchery rush. There was no ill-intention involved, so I hope DarkElf hyung wasn't too offended (laugh).
- You lost to Chinese players in the recent IEF.
▲ I have nothing to say about that. I just think that it was a good experience, and should I play again the next time, I will not lose.
- You will be facing MBC next. Any particular player you want to face?
▲ None, but I will practice hard so that it will be a one-sided rape.
- Any final words?
▲ The weather has gotten colder, so to our fans, please take care to not catch a cold, and continue to support us as we provide you more exciting games.
